Using a Computer for Control and Programming

Video Generator Manager (VGM)

The VGM software package provides a graphical user interface that allows you to program our Bench Top, ISA card and PCI card Model 801 and 802 Series video genera- tors. You can also use the software to control the generator instead of using the front panel controls. The current version of the VGM runs on Microsoft® Win- dows® 95/98/NT/2000. The software also allows you to save copies of custom

formats, images and sequences on the computer's disk drive. These files can then be uploaded into other Quantum Data video generators.

A copy of the VGM software is included on the CD-ROM that comes with each generator sold. The software is also available as a free download from the Tech Support area of our Web site at www.quantumdata.com. The software installation includes on-line help and there is additional documentation in the form of Adobe® Acrobat® PDF files on the CD-ROM.
